The forecast is bad news for snow lovers - with only parts of the Scottish Highlands expected to see the white stuff. The last official White Christmas was in 2010. Usually snow doesn't hit southern England until January to March.

The warm weather we're currently experiencing is 6C- 12C higher than normal temperatures at this time of year. And this weekend will be warmer than Tazmania, Australia - where it's forecast to be 14C despite being summer.

The warmest December day on record is 18.3C, set in 1948 in Achnashellach, Scotland.
